You may be asking yourself, "Why modernize this flow?"

Not to mention purchasing teams drowning in administrative tasks - a real productivity drain!

What is the Odoo Procuros Connector?
The Procuros Odoo Connector is a software gateway linking your Odoo ERP with the Procuros platform.
In concrete terms, it synchronizes your purchasing and supplier data in real time: purchase orders, product catalogs, delivery times, unit prices... This means you can consult and validate your orders without leaving Odoo. (As an aside: no more careless copy-pasting!).
The benefits?
Simplified process flow, automated tasks and a unified view of your orders and resources. The icing on the cake: price updates from Procuros feed directly into Odoo, enabling you to adjust your purchasing strategies and margins instantly.
Installation and initial configuration
You don't have to be DevOps to install the connector!
1/ Download the " Connector Procuros "For more information, visit the Odoo App Store or contact your integrator.
2/ Install it in just a few clicks, like any other Odoo module.
3/ In the Integrations menu, select "Procuros" and enter your API credentials.
4/ Choose your synchronization frequency: hourly, daily, or continuously.
5/ Activate the document types to be imported: purchase orders, supplier invoices, product catalogs.
It's easier than it looks! Practical tip: activate automatic synchronization every hour to avoid unexpected stock-outs. And to avoid getting lost in the parameters, don't hesitate to duplicate a test environment (sandbox) before switching to production - a pro's reflex to avoid basic errors.
Data synchronization and purchasing workflows
Once configured, the connector automatically synchronizes :
- Product catalogs (part numbers, prices, availability).
- Purchase orders created in Odoo to Procuros and vice versa.
- Delivery status (in progress, partial, completed).
- Supplier invoices for automatic reconciliation.
Just imagine: your purchasing manager creates a quote in Odoo, clicks on "Send to Procuros", and the platform automatically generates the order with the supplier. In return, as soon as the goods are dispatched or invoiced, Odoo updates the status of the project or task, alerts your production team, and inserts the invoice in the accounts.
This integration synchronizes status (in progress, received, invoiced), triggers alerts and generates cross-reports between purchases and sales.
The result? You benefit from a more realistic marketing campaign, based on up-to-date inventory, and your internal departments can plan their projects without fear of stock-outs.
Monitoring of projects and procurement tasks
